Sunday Social at Paul Mahder Gallery featuring Bay Area artist Amber Jean Young, Sunday, September 11, 2 -5 pm.
 
We invite members of the community to join together to work on a quilt for a charitable cause. The quilt made in this session will be donated to North Sonoma County Services for fundraising. 
 
This event is the latest installment of Community Quilt, Amber Jean Young’s ongoing social practice project that calls on the long history of group quilting.
 
Inspired by the spirit of community building inherent in Quilting Bees, Amber's goal in these sessions is to engage participants of any gender and of varying skill levels by giving them the opportunity to design their own quilt block and contribute to a quilt. By working together, seated around a table, these events create meaningful conversation and a cross pollinating of creative ideas. 
 
No sewing experience required to participate in the event! Enthusiastic bystanders are welcome to come for the conversation, to witness team quilt making, and to enjoy wine.
 
How to Participate:

Step One: Come to the Paul Mahder Gallery located in beautiful Downtown Healdsburg!

Step Two: Grab a seat a and a template. Choose your fabrics.

Step Three: Design your own quilt block!

Your template will serve as the "background" of your block. You are free to cut and arrange provided fabrics any way you would like in order to create your unique design. 

Hand sewing materials will be provided for those interested in doing their own sewing or embroidery, and Amber will be equipped with a sewing machine and is happy to sew your designs in place.
